The Film Critique: Due by the beginning of class on Monday, December 12th (anything turned in after this time will be considered late and will receive a point deduction)

  • Make sure your note sheet is COMPLETE. Remember you will need at least 5 examples in 5 of the categories (see your classmates if you need more)
    • Screenplay (quotes)
    • Acting
    • Set Design
    • Costume
    • Storyline (the story)
    • Music
    • Cinematography (camera movements and angles)
    • Special Effects
  • Get a Film Critique Rough Draft paper from the counter
    • Complete this entire thing. You will need to make sure you have all the information filled in
    • The TOPICS are the categories from your note sheet (so you will need to use your notes)
    • When it is complete, see Mrs. Ferris for a stamp and your Film Critique Rubric
  • Using the Film Critique Rubric you need to write a 5 paragraph essay following the format provided
  • You must make sure all things are completed and done correctly
    • This format is very specific to this class so taking work done by someone else will be very easy to spot and will result in a ZERO on this project
  • Proofread your essay
  • When you are done you will PRINT it out
  • You will need to staple it together in the following order:
    • Rubric (1/2 sheet)
    • Essay (printed)
    • Notes (on lined paper)
    • Rough Draft Sheet (with instructor stamp on it showing it was approved)
    • Staple must be in the upper left corner of the page
  • Turn all of this into Mrs. Ferris (do not just leave it somewhere)


Assignment 1:

  • What is your Favorite movie (the one you can watch over and over again)?
  • What makes this movie your favorite (be specific, 2-3 sentences)
  • What is your Least favorite movie (the one you cringe if someone suggests)?
  • What makes it your least favorite?

Go to www.rottentomatoes.com or http://www.imdb.com/ and see what people say/said about your favorite movie and your least favorite movie. Tell the ratings they got and any other important facts

Email this to Mrs. Ferris. She will email you back with what to do next (this is important, otherwise you will have home work)
